Some transfer, but there are many who remain to enter the teaching profession, dedicating their lives to the development of desirable ideals and concepts in the minds of those who hold the future of our country, and indeed the entire world, in their small hands. We, the staff of this annual, are a few of those who have remain¬ ed, and as such, we dedicate this 1953 Evergreen to one who has dedicated himself to Education; to one who has led us through the mazes and morass of higher educa¬ tion; to one who has helped us when we were in need of help and corrected us when we were deserving of cor¬ rection—to Dr. Thomas J . C aruthers. 4 Dr. Thomas J. Caruthers Director, Teacher Training Some people regard a college as a machine design¬ ed to turn loose upon the world the product of four years of intensive study. As such, a college is a machine. Other people, the editor included, do not hold to such an as¬ sumption, but regard a college as a personality—a throb¬ bing, vibrating, living thing—possessed of a character more complex than any one person because it is compos¬ ed of as many personalities as are connected with this vast organism. In this book we have attempted the im¬ possible—to take this personality, reduce it to a flat page, and place it within the confines of a maroon and gold cover. Absolute success is out of the question. The extent to which we do succeed will vary according to the individual who reads this annual. But withal, we have en¬ deavored, with sincere effort, to please you, the reader.

The col¬ lege has accepted its responsibility in preparing you to meet such challenges. Accordingly, syllabi have been revised, new courses added, and a dean of instruction provided in order that your mental development might reach its maximum growth. The college has likewise attempted to raise the standards of education through guidance and student personnel services. You have cooperated in the formulation of guidance plans and in the development of a Student Government so essen¬ tial to cooperative living. The testing program has been made more inclusive and the counsel¬ ing services increased. A Personnel Committee composed of faculty and student members now provides for a continuous evaluation of the total program and recommends to the proper authori¬ ties the steps necessary for improvement. You have not only observed but have aided greatly in the growth in each of the above listed areas. The final test of the degree to which you have progressed lies largely with you. The contri¬ bution you make through your profession and through the homes you will establish will pro¬ vide a bulwark for our nation’s character. We congratulate each of you upon your grad¬ uation. We also exhort each of you to cherish the confidence we place in you. As you make the transition from students to alumni, we urge you to remember that your responsibility to your alma mater does not grow less but more. As we influ¬ ence you, so will you influence others. May none of us fail the oncoming generations. J. D.

CHAIRES, Li¬ brarian. THE SENIOR CLASS Nostalgia settles pleasantly around our shoulders as we steal a backward glance in¬ to the past four fruitful years. A warm feel¬ ing of accomplishment flows through our veins as we mentally pull up a comfortable easy chair beside a cheerful glowing fire, whose fuel consists of the memories of lifelong friendships formed during this brief period. Events that perplex—conster¬ nation, timidity, and doubt—mingle hap¬ hazardly with thoughts of anticipation, happiness, and cheer. As these memories, one by one, come in¬ to focus, we can review with serene calm CLASS OF 1953 now such frustrating events as Rat Week with its Olive Races, raw eggs, calesthenics, and our first class meetings with the facul¬ ty. Next into focus, in sinister form, whirls an allegorical picture of our first nine weeks’ marks—a monster with question marks for eye balls, its features resembling the combined characteristics of one hun¬ dred and thirty-one parents multiplied by two, to represent this momentous occa¬ sion. Following closely on the heels of this monster is his slayer in the form of our first class-sponsored dance, where we learn¬ ed the meaning of cooperation. Quickly then, in rapid succession, the wavy lines of our memory recall the Flarvest Queen Dance and the united efforts in our ship building venture, the S.S. Blackwell set¬ ting for the June Ball. Then there’s the crystal clear picture of our first day of Stu¬ dent Teaching, when we shakily faced a group of 30 or more unbending, uncom¬ promising, sinister children, who, just a day later, looked just like the smiling, trusting, eager, hopeful children we always knew they would be. With this last picture in mind, as we rise from our reveries and leave the pleas¬ ant fireside of memories, it becomes, all at once, easy to move foreward into life, to the fulfillment of our destiny, which is, with the help of God, “To take care of little things, The fledgling that have not their wings, ' Til they are big enough to fly— And stretch their wings across the sky.” — E. Fargeon CLASS OFFICERS Stoops . Mr. White . Johnson . Butler . Bartholomew . President Faculty Adviser Vice-President . Treasurer . Secretary 15 MARIE DOYLE Marie will undoubtedly be long remembered by her fellow stu¬ dents for her pleasing personali¬ ty, her friendly smile, and, most of all, her hustle and spirit on the athletic field. She was seen most often studying in the library or striving for athletic improve¬ ment in the gymnasium. NANCY KEEN Nancy, the lovely wife of a grad¬ uate of this college, captured the hearts of her fellow students, as well as all who knew her. Her easy-going personality and her devotion to her chosen profession, her outstanding traits, will stand her in good stead in the years to come. VIRGINIA VAN SCIVER The teaching profession has tem¬ porarily lost the capabilities of “Ginny” (Graybeal) Van Sciver, who, at mid-semester, interrupted her studies in order to be with her Sailor husband in Florida. Virginia’s absence from those round table discussions, both in the Snack Bar and the classroom, is sorely missed. 16 LESTER HOLSBERG Les—personification of poise and composure around a heart of gold. From his first day at S.T.C., he fought for a better school. Uncompromising in matters of principle, he stood when others faltered. Because of his dynamic leadership, he leaves a better school than he found. He was thirsty. WALTER JOHNSON Studious, dependable, conscienti¬ ous, and capable, Walt will sure¬ ly leave a void which will be felt in the future. Many of the school’s social improvements dur¬ ing the last four years have felt the gentle nudge and guidance of this leader of leaders. He will make a mark in his chosen field. JOHN JOHNSON A quiet and cooperative student, Jack’s countenance was ever pres¬ ent whenever there was a chore to be done. His steadying influ¬ ence in class functions has always played a dramatic part in their ultimate success. His ready smile and willing hand will serve him well on the road to success. 17 DOROTHY RICHARD “Dot” is known by both students and faculty alike for her willing¬ ness to work and her scholastic ability. She is popular, not only with her classmates, but with the entire student body. As an ath¬ lete, Dot represented S.T.C. her first two years on the basketball floor, as well as playing hockey. MABEL LYNCH Mabel is outstanding most of all for her humor and wit. Upon her entrance on the scene, everyone relaxes into a congenial mood and funny things happen. We may say of Mabel that she is personal¬ ly interested in everyone; that she is a “friend indeed” constant¬ ly- MINNIE RIGGIN “Minnie,” although the quiet and demure type, is popular with everyone. She seems to have an air of friendliness about her, and, when in her presence, one can hardly help being happy. Her very manner makes her a favorite with students and faculty alike and assures her success. 18 RICHARD HOUNDS “Dick” is one of our day stu¬ dents who is going about earn ¬ ing his degree in his own quiet way. He seems to spend most of his time “fluctuating” between classrooms and the library, with occasional “time out for coffee” in the snack bar. His actions in¬ dicate a definite liking for teach¬ ing and we’re sure he’ll go far in his chosen field. STEWART HARRISON As a student, “Stew” has certain¬ ly left his mark in the annals of S. T. C. Budgeting his time be¬ tween his classes, student activi¬ ties, and “Jayne”, he has con¬ sistently placed himself on the honor roll, won three achieve¬ ment keys, and rated a place in the annual “WHO’S WHO” publication. ROBERT SAWYER Around the campus, ‘Buzz’ could perhaps most often be seen with a ping-pong paddle in his hand, bidding five hearts, or writing a lesson plan. He also preferred basketball or volleyball to study¬ ing, but proved himself capable in the classroom when the occa¬ sion arose. 19 ARDATH BARTHOLOMEE “Ardy” is one of the most like¬ able girls on the campus, and, therefore, one of the most popu¬ lar. She is always ready for a party, a bridge game, or any¬ thing else that promises a little fun. She does not, however, ne¬ glect her studies. With her class¬ mates, she is “tops.” DEBORAH BRIDGES “Vivacious” is the only word to describe this pert little senior who is known to all as “Debbie.” She has spent four years constantly amusing her classmates and rush¬ ing the toast machine in the caf¬ eteria in the morning. Her charming ways and merry giggle will long be remembered. MARGARET EVERETT Margaret, one of the “motley crew”, is a study in friendliness. Her willingness to help, her friendly manner, and her charm¬ ing personality combine in mak¬ ing her preferred company among fellow students. “Margie” gets a lot of fun from life, and helps many others do the same. ' ' ■s HOWARD CHEEK “Cheeko”—friend extraordinary. He was always ready to repeat the wise words of Shakespeare or to lift glass and voice in song. He played soccer with bulldog tenaci¬ ty and never failed to pitch in and help any activity for the good of Alma Mater. Dependa¬ bility is his monument. DONALD REED This diminutive senior, affection¬ ately known as “Donnie” to his friends (his friends consisting of everyone who ever met him), makes up for his small physi¬ cal stature by being large in¬ deed in the other intangible traits that go into the make-up of a man. He is “tops” with every¬ one. LLOYD FRY As one of our most active seniors, Lloyd was seen most conversing with fellow students, performing one of his numerous extra-cur¬ ricular tasks, or courting his bride-to-be. A conscientious stu¬ dent, he was well-liked by both the student body and faculty: a success in the future, we know. 21 KATHRYN EISEMAN “Kitty”, admired and liked by all, will surely be long remem¬ bered for her humor and friend¬ ly good nature, which she dis¬ played always. Judging from the enjoyment she received Irom her practice teaching, we’re sure she’ll succeed when she finally goes out to “meet the challenge”. PAULINE MILLS Industustious and scholarly, Paul¬ ine will long be remembered for her eagerness and zeal to learn. Her thirst for knowledge through- out her years here is sure to pay dividends to herself and her fu¬ ture pupils. She takes her sep¬ arate way well equipped with the tools of her trade. AMANDA FISHER Mrs. Fisher has shown to the girls in the dorm this year the understanding ol an older mar¬ ried woman and yet the viva¬ ciousness and interests of a girl in her teens. A very busy lady! The desire to learn is strong in¬ deed in Amanda, though per¬ haps she’d rather be home with “hubby”. 22 BRYAN BENNETT “Spuck”, as he is known to friends and classmates, is the per¬ sonification of friendship. His ready wit and “big foot” on the soccer held will be long remem¬ bered by his associates at the col¬ lege. Spuck’s love of parties, women, and his little green Plym¬ outh are his most familiar trade¬ marks. EDWIN PRETTYMAN Ed the longest story teller we know. He was always dead seri¬ ous about everything and, more often than not, he was right. Able to absorb great “ribbing” from his friends, he won the admira¬ tion of all. Ed was always dead game for just about anything that was suggested. ROBERT SHIELDS “Moe”, hrst, last, and always a ladies’ man, managed to excel in other fields, too. He was an out¬ standing competitor in athletics and a real challenge to the teach¬ ing profession. His novel ideas for maintaining children’s atten¬ tion will long be remembered, as will his wit and good-naturedness. 23 RUTH BARTON Petite Shirley, with her brown eyes and cordial smile, always has a friendly greeting and a kind word. She has a daintiness ol manner and a tactful thought¬ fulness that will make her hard to forget; everything about her is genuine, especially her devo¬ tion to her fiance. PATRICIA RADCLIFFE GUERRIERI “Patti”, the cute little blonde who called everyone a “doll”, was one herself. Her vivacious personali¬ ty was always in evidence and her frequent phone calls and dates justified her surname, “Mrs. Mike”. Despite her fragile ap¬ pearance, Patti was an outstand¬ ing athlete. She loved art and music. JEANNE BURNS Jeanne is one of our more friend¬ ly seniors who is always willing to lend a helping hand in vari¬ ous school activities, even though her studies and “Jack” seem to take up a great deal of her time. Her beaming personality has made her one of the most popu¬ lar girls around the ca mpus. 24 CHARLES BUTLER Sharp-witted, warm, and friend¬ ly, Charlie will long be remem¬ bered for his congeniality and for his ever-readiness to extend a helping hand. His aptitude for politics has earned him the title of the “Churchill of S.T.C.”. May his future be blackened by a minimum of blood, sweat, and tears. STANFORD CROCKETT Studious, ambitious, and mar¬ ried, Stan, in his eagerness to go forth and meet the challenge, combined summer school with his regular college attendance. With a drive such as this, it is certain that “the Man” shall be heard of again and often. Fifth grade, Montgomery County-— stand by! NICHOLAS VITARELLI Between varsity sports events, “Nick” could always be located in the locker room or the library. He will probably be best remem¬ bered for his many services to the school and to each of us as indi¬ viduals. His pleasant manner will certainly bring cheer to his fu- ture classes. 25 NANCY STROHSACKER PATTON “Nan,” the beautiful brunette ol the senior class, was frequently seen hurrying about the college, making charts, or “sitting in the back of the bus.” She enjoyed boating, traveling, and bridge, and was S.T.C.’s most consistent mail-box watcher, hoping for and often receiving a BILLet-doux. JUNE SHERWOOD TULL Changing from a resident stu¬ dent to a day student in her se¬ nior year, “Sherry” took from the college a sweet and understand¬ ing personality, but we know her amiable characteristics will be in evidence wherever she lives. Sherry’s popularity was matched by her hard work and attractive¬ ness. WILLIE CAREY Willie joined us in the fall of ’51 and, in a very short time, prov¬ ed herself both in and out of the classroom. She has continued to tackle her studies in a business¬ like manner and to display a pleasant and friendly personality around the campus, making her preferred company. 26 JOHN WILLIS “Jack” was the. man behind the scenes at numerous productions at S. T. C. He was probably the only student in the history of the collesre who knew what switch o to pull a t the right time. His re¬ liableness, ability to get things done, hearty laugh, and willing¬ ness to help will surely be miss¬ ed. RAYMOND STOOPS “Ray”, the handsome president of the senior class, has long been the butt of jokes concerning his status with the opposite sex. He has always taken this kidding good-naturedly and returned the jibs. Perhaps it has been this good-naturedness that has made Ray the popular student he is. V ' A ' WW WILLIAM TRUITT “Bill,” the bass half of the Cher¬ ry Sisters and three-year mem¬ ber of the highly regarded col¬ lege quartet, was frequently seen entertaining in one of these ca¬ pacities. Always willing to help out, Bill was a good student and served as president of the So- phanes Players and the Men’s Dorm. 27 JOSEPH HOWARD Joe—a nice guy to know. He made living here much more en¬ joyable by his uncanny ability to twist serious phrases into com¬ ical absurdities. Always in there pitching, he brought volleyball into prominence. He was never known to refuse anyone a lavor. Football and music are his pas¬ times. THOMAS WILLIAMS There is Tom, sitting in the snack bar working a finesse; there he is again as a lawyer in Born Yes¬ terday —and again holding a meeting of his club, the Gull Wing. Industrious, dynamic, hu¬ morous, well liked, and witty— that’s Tom as viewed by every¬ one who ever knew him. JOHN O’BRIEN John- -the “disagreeinest” man alive. He established himself as a “shrewd operator” and “a good student”. In matters of finance, John made things easy for every¬ one who dealt with the book store. His associates admire his tremendous capacity for work. His stories are collector’s items. zb ROBERT MAJORS Having taken time out from his education to serve his country, Bob returned to finish his last two years with us. His greatest ambitions are to become a teach¬ er and to become an expert at knocking down ducks _ with his shotgun. His progress now indi¬ cates future success in both fields. MOLLIE CANTRELL Another bridge enthusiast, ‘Motts’ has more or less proven herself an expert at the ancient art of bidding “seven no trump” (and making it). Otherwise, a great deal of her time is spent writing to “Brownie,” stalwartly leading a cheering section, or preparing lessons for her “little darlings.” 29 THE JUNIOR 3 CLASS CLASS OF 1954 F,xcited? Yes! Happy? Yes! Scared? Yes! The feelings of the class beginning their Freshman year at S.T.C.—that long ago September day in 1950. It was a small class in number but not so small in spirit, for from our midst were to come leaders and spirited S.T.C.’eans. Before many weeks had passed, the class of ’54 had become an integral part of col¬ lege life. We joined in the life of the school by membership in the various clubs. Fresh¬ man names were on every roster. Eagerly we assumed responsibility, both as officers and members of S.T.C. organizations. 32 Scholastically and socially we won recog¬ nition in our freshman year that would fol¬ low us throughout our careers at S.T.C. Returning to S.T.C. in the fall of 1951 as Sophomores, we found ourselves taking a more serious view of college life than we had as freshmen. The fact that we were preparing ourselves for the future was im¬ pressed upon us as our second year in col¬ lege began. We endeavored to attain high scholastic standings and to continue in po¬ sitions of leadership and respect. The year was not all drudgery and seri¬ ousness, however. We also found adequate time for extra-curricular activities. We were well-represented at social functions throughout the year. We were active mem¬ bers of the Publications Staffs, Glee Club, athletic squads, and other organizations. In retrospect, our Sophomore year is seen as an important year for enriching experiences and services rendered. Juniors, at last! The year of specializa¬ tion finally arrived. We began to find out the secrets behind such awed phrases as seminar, education courses, and classroom observations. We began to really feel that we were attending a Teachers College.

Even so, the responsibilities of upperclass¬ men fell on willing and able shoulders. JUNIORS THOMPSON BRIDGES STILES NAVRATIL LONG HERLIHY HORNER JUNIORS This, our third year in college, was large¬ ly one of serious purpose. We were train¬ ing for our future and we knew our future is what we make it. 35 THE SOPHOMORE CLASS CLASS OF 1955 It is usually so hard to be halfway through something, striving for completion, and feeling uncertainty of the goal; but we of the Sophomore Class have not found it so. Certainly this was our “halfway” year, and our “hardest,” but we have somehow ac¬ complished so much that the hardships and yearnings for seniorship no longer mat¬ ter. Sophomores, and yet certainly not “know-it-alls,” we have stuck together and contributed to this college, both as a whole and as individuals. From our ranks have come members and leaders of every worth¬ while activity at STC in its scholarship, drama and creative fields, and sports. In addition, we have sponsored a successful Harvest Dance, climaxed by the crowning 33 of a sophomore beauty as Harvest Queen. To us, “last year , when we were Fresh¬ men, seems as far removed as does the Pil¬ grim landing at Plymouth Rock. We have seen the beginning of this college’s expan¬ sion—the erecting of a new building on our campus—we have witnessed changes and improvements, additions and subtrac¬ tions. We are no longer strangers and new¬ comers, for we have our favorite spots in the library; we know nearly every face by a nickname, and our most-discussed sub¬ ject in Bull-sessions has become “Remem¬ ber w hen?” And yet we are not proud, nor critical. We are only freshmen, in reality, grown one year older, asking for a little knowledge and finding it in bountiful sup¬ ply on every side, only waiting to be learn¬ ed. And now we face, undismayed, the fu¬ ture. As scholars we may fall short, but as students we cannot fail. “After the rain ceases,” someone has told us, “the moon will come from behind the clouds, and you shall see so many new existing things. There wall be fields of daffodils, and banks of cedars, and robins, constantly following after rains. But in one thing you must not change, for a broken vow is a broken hope. You must pledge yourself to learning, to man’s necessities, to all that is holy, to all those seeking warmth and kindness. As scholars, you may fail, with no effect upon these changes. But as students you must never fail, or the moon may well go be¬ hind the clouds forever, and that man who reaches for the stars will forever mourn his loss.” CLASS OFFICERS Mattingly ...

Even then there was a dread in our hearts of the second week of college which was “Rat Week”, but the friendly helping hand and the understanding of the upperclassmen caused us to witness a feeling of security and importance. Never fading from our minds are the visions of the many hours spent taking tests in the auditorium. Nor shall we forget the excitement of getting ready for and attending the “Harvest Dance,” our first big college affair. The many “get togethers” helped us be¬ come better acquainted and promoted friendly companionship among the stu- dents. The hours of quiet (quiet?) study spent in the library added to former knowledge. Those stiff exams! Often we felt sure that we would never survive, but we did and enjoy telling the tales of our unforgettable days. The roller skating parties leave memories of “spills and thrills.” The bruises on our physical bodies have all disappeared, but the mental im¬ pression of fun and gaiety shall linger for¬ ever. Our Freshman year has been filled with work, study, sentiment, fun, laughter, and good times of all description, but religion was not forgotten. Remember the Vesper Services every Sunday afternoon in the Social Room, with singing and discussion? Scholarship, character, leadership, and service were valuable traits to us as Fresh¬ men. Scholarship was sought by all—char¬ acter, of course, was one of our most prized possessions, for we knew it could never es¬ cape us. Leadership was illustrated by our very fine class officers and the success of their efforts. Service was any kind deed performed and not just our regular duties. We learned to look for something to do instead of being told what to do. Yes, there have been moments of distress as well as moments of happiness, but there has al¬ ways been a friend who was a friend in¬ deed ! As our next three college years flut¬ ter by, we know our fondness for S.T.C. will continue to grow. CLASS OFFICERS Landon . President Johnson . Vice-President Thorne . Social Committee Mr. Glenn .

In the very center of the rushing stream of college life is a stepping-stone, provid¬ ing firm footing for Compromise as she goes back and forth from the Student to the Faculty Shore, and checking the bois¬ terous flow around it. Known as the S.G.A., it gives the stream voice, promises develop¬ ment and justice, and is governing and channeling every student molecule toward the day they all unite in a graduation wa¬ terfall, to lie at last in the reservoir of the citizenry—a calm pool, shining gently with the reflection that the stone still stands in the stream above.

The officers played an outstanding role in mak¬ ing the incoming freshmen feel a part of this association. Congratulations for cre¬ ating the “homey” atmosphere that you have! When one hundred men make their homes within the walls of a single build¬ ing, inevitably problems and traces of dis¬ satisfaction will arise. The purpose of the Mens Dormitory Association has been to solve or prevent these in a swift and order¬ ly manner. It has performed its task well. Lynch . Treasurer Stiles . Vice-President Patton .

The time and effort spent in improving the new Men’s Day room proved the sincerity of the members as they strove to band to¬ gether to make more enjoyable the hours spent at the college. That these girls are not boarding stu¬ dents is no reflection on their unity, for the Women’s Day Association is a closely-knit group whose influence is felt in the S.G.A. and in all college activities. They find clos¬ er friendship in their organization, shar¬ ing mutual interests and problems. Standing, left to right: Johnson, Payne, Banning, Nock, Smith, Sylvia, Long.

Much talent has been uncovered by the participation of students in this worth¬ while activity. Both the members and the director of the chorus have experienced deep satisfaction from their work. A few of their appearances have included the supplying of music for the candlelighting service, caroling, exchange programs, as¬ semblies, and a radio broadcast. ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE Credit for the assembly programs this year goes to the Assembly Committee —Mr. Allen Weaver, Emory Hilgman, and Bill Horner. As a result of their efforts, and the financial hacking by the state, S ' l ' C students have enjoyed bigger and bet¬ ter programs that deserve high praise for their variety and vitality. CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION No college is complete without such a religious group as the Christian Asso¬ ciation as a reminder that youth, especially, should spend its waking and sleep¬ ing hours in awareness that God is near. FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA It is very fitting that a State Teachers College should boast a Future Teachers Association, whose members are resolved that future generations shall not slip by unguided and lost in want. 54 WOMEN’S A. A. This year’s Women’s Athletic Associa¬ tion, under the able leadership of Patty Lou Radcliffe Guerrieri, came to life with a veritable roar. Cooperating whole¬ heartedly with the Men’s Athletic Asso¬ ciation, this group was instrumental in or¬ ganizing and directing a well rounded sports calendar for the students. This cal¬ endar included field hockey, basketball, gymnastics, and softball. There are cer¬ tainly few girls who will soon forget the bumps and bruises suffered on the field during hockey season. This year’s activi¬ ties, following on the heels of the last few comparatively lethargic years, speak for themselves. It is a great commendation for both of these groups, the Men’s and Women’s A. A. We would like to add our congratulations on a good year. MEN’S A. A. Flaming back to life after several com¬ paratively reposeful years, the Men’s Ath¬ letic Association carried out well its theme of “participation of the masses.” It spon¬ sored one of the strongest soccer teams and one of the gamest basketball teams ever viewed on this campus—both actively sup¬ ported by a sports-minded student body. Intramural soccer, basketball, and softball became a vital part of the lives of the stu¬ dents—a vital part of the college. Nor can the ping-pong tournaments, the volleyball team, and the newly formed fencing and boxing clubs be ignored when speaking of the accomplishments of this organiza¬ tion. The goals, set high in September, were fully achieved. Mr. Maggs, faculty advisor, and “Moe” Shields, president, are to be commended. Reed, Shields, Harrison, and Vi- tarelli seem genuinely interested as “Coach” gives a few tips, perhaps on how to perform the much attempt¬ ed “kip”. Van Sciver . Vice-President Marshall .

The annual you are now leafing through is their work, their story, and their pride. Into a crude dummy, they cram¬ med their ideas. They were not the best ideas or plans ever envisioned, but they belonged to this group. From this dummy and with the hel p of well-worn pencils, a rule, a few old razor blades, and an oft- used typewriter, they produced this book. They no longer claim sole possession: it is now yours. It is their hope that you will cherish this book as it comes into your possession, feeling secure that these few words and pictures will, in future years, serve as a permanent link between you and four long years of your now young lives. 56 I The Holly Leaf , the staff of which is pic¬ tured below, is a monthly newspaper of the college, published by the students, for the students, and about the students. The Holly Leaf staff has tried to give you a run¬ ning account of the significant events of the college year. This task, which sounds insignificant to the person not familiar with this type of work, has entailed a vast amount of labor and countless hours on the part of many people closeted within the staff room reading, writing, and proofing. The business staff solicited ads, sent out bills, and handled the financial end of the job. The entire staff is to be commended for their efforts to make this year’s Holly Leaf the best one yet.

Our sports-minded stu¬ dent body supplied that essential clamor of encouragement which is a vital part of every athletic achievement. Though few in number, our cheerlead¬ ers carried out well the task of helping our varsity squad realize their eff orts were appreciated. Libby Elzey and Barbara Bailey are pictured below.

There are some who fail to look beyond the gladiators on the field in the world of sports, but such is not the case at S.T.C. A carload of appreciation goes to our capa¬ ble, warmhearted, understanding coaches, Miss Martha Holloway and Mr. Benn Maggs. Their outstanding accomplish¬ ments in the field of sports extend far be¬ yond the building of athletic teams. The fostering of team play and cooperation in¬ stilled into our athletes, and passed on by them to the student body as spectators, are sturdy building blocks which will serve us well in the construction of a sound and solid character in the future. 78 There are few people who realize and truly appreciate the values of leadership in the held of sports. It is just as impossi¬ ble to eliminate the balance wheel from a fine watch and maintain its accuracy as it is to neglect the importance of a good lead¬ er on a athletic team or squad and hope to be successful. This leader must serve his team as a balance wheel, main spring, and pivot point. He must be a veritable twenty- one jewel held general. These captains pictured below have, as their commenda¬ tion, the records of the teams which they led this year. These records are undisput- able evidence that the faith and trust in¬ vested in them by their teammates was not misplaced. TEAM CAPTAINS Left to right: Howard Cheek, Gym Squad; Donald Reed, Soccer; Luke Howard, Volleyball; Harriett Dick¬ inson, Women ' s Basketball; Robert Shields, Men’s Basketball; Alvin Younger, Boxing Club. 79 As the most recent addition to the Men’s Athletic Association, the Boxing Club was formed especially for those braver members of our student body who look to the art of fisticuffs to add a little spice to their competitive “play”. Although the mem¬ bers have been few this past year, they have displayed activity and interest which will undoubtedly produce a larger squad and greater success in future years.

The team, though lacking ex¬ perience, managed to make an outstand¬ ing record against some of Maryland’s most highly rated teams. Teamwork and aggressiveness proved to be the driving forces behind the Gulls, leading them to many victories. However, the sheer en¬ joyment derived from merely playing the game supplied the main impetus. The hoot¬ ers of the future will have difficulty in maintaining the excellent record compiled by this year’s “ecstatic ' ’ eleven. n o Standing, left to right: Marshall, Ross, Dickinson, Radc.liffe, Davis, Bruel. Sitting: Guer- rieri, Holloway (Coach), Jones (Manager), Doyle. WOMEN’S BASKETBALL The many volunteer hours devoted gra¬ ciously to practice has culminated once again in a victorious court campaign for the S.T.C. Women’s Basketball aggrega¬ tion. Although the schedule this year was not as lengthy as in previous years, the same outstanding sterling qualities of lead¬ ership and team spirit were prominently displayed throughout the abbreviated sea¬ son. 82 The fleet-footed five put forth a fantas¬ tic burst of athletic energy to make up one of the best basketball teams ever viewed on the 3TC court. Unflinching in spirit and exceptional in fortitude, the Maggs- men gave all opposition a real struggle. Al¬ though the Gulls were forced to swallow the bitter pill of defeat on several occa¬ sions, the antidote was provided by nu¬ merous decisive victories. MEN’S BASKETBALL Coach Maggs giving instructions to, left to light: Shields, O’Brien, Ayers, Eley, Knice- ly, Foskey, Lawson, Phillips, and Massey. 83 For the third successive year, S.T.C. placed a volleyball team in the City League and, for the third successive year, that team was “the team to beat.” Relying greatly on undaunted spirit and a great will to win as well as ability, the boys piled up a 27-8 record during the regular season and entered the play-offs. The title once again evaded their grasp, but, to S.T.C.- eans, they ' re “champions.” VOLLEYBALL Standing, left to right: Herbst, Younger, Fry, J. Howard, Dize, Bradford, Flax. Kneel¬ ing: Sawyer, L.

GYM SQUAD The Gym Squad, although it did not engage in inter-collegiate competition, did a very fine job for the college this year. The annual Seniors’ Day show not only exhibited the athletic prowess of the group, but indicated, as well, the countless hours spent in practice to achieve the flawless form displayed by the men in performing their intricate maneuvers. The gym show helped to make the day a success. These men were not seen often, but when they were seen, they were impressive. 85 INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL HOLSBERG’S HORNETS ROGER’S CODGERS CHUCK’S CHICKS PASSIN’ PARSONS HEARN’S HOOPSTERS MOE’S MAULERS 86 CAUGHT IN ACTION 87 ip OUR DISTINGUISHED 89 Miss STC Nancy Patton Mr. STC Donald Reed May Queen Ardath Bartholomee Best Woman Athlete Marie Doyle CAMPUS 1 1 I V Most Scholarly Woman Sylvia Givans Most Scholarly Man James Williams Queen’s Escort William Truitt LEADERS Best Man Athlete Denis O ' Brien WHO ' S WHO IN AMERICAN COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES Joseph Howard Howard Cheek Stewart Harrison Lester Holsberg Walter Johnson Not pictured: Thomas Williams 92 ACHIEVEMENT KEY WINNERS Joanne Jones Grayson Wheatley Fred Johnson Glenn Lawson Lester Holsberg Sylvia Givans Walter Johnson Betty Lou Townsend Barbara Jones (Ruby insert) Ingrid Esterson Jayne Thompson (Ruby insert) (Ruby insert) Not pictured: Janice Marshall Stewart Harrison (2nd Ruby insert) 93 OUR SPONSORS 95 5 ® ' C.
